Hello! I've returned the headset to the store where it was purchased. When I get my refund, I'll buy a new unit. I wrote here to discuss the issue and to understand how widespread is it. Ideally, Meta should come up with some long-term solution, because changing the headsets every month is not an option. As far as I understand midlife cycle minor product hardware updates are happening, so maybe something could be done about it in future revisions (better isolation or something). The question is whether Meta is aware of the issue or not?
They are absolutely aware of it. No chance they’ll admit it though as it might lead to a class action lawsuit. I would imagine the 3s has fixed the problem but we’re too far into the Quest 3 life cycle for them to bother.
I think it depends on the statistics of the returns. It is hard to imagine a world where it is beneficial for them to deal with all these claims if there are many. And if we won't see Q4 until 2026 it is still a long time to go. A good point about the 3S though, maybe iFixit or someone else would make a disassembly video where the theory about improvements can be confirmed or not.
